Conrad Black ordered to stay in U.S.

Conrad Black has been ordered to remain in the United States until Aug. 16, when he is scheduled to appear before Judge Amy St. Eve — the same judge who sent him to prison 28 months ago — to provide a full financial disclosure.
Lord Black, who appeared smiling in court sporting a blue suit and red tie, could face the judge sooner if his attorneys manage to paint a more accurate picture of his financial situation before the August court date. Apparently the completion of the routine government forms could not possibly be filed in time for Friday hearing.
His lawyer, Miguel Estrada, said the media baron may have to live in a hotel until his next court appearance, where he will likely request that Lord Black be allowed to return to his Toronto home.
